New York City The New School
NOW MORE THAN EVER, DESIGN is DRIVing CHANGE. REIMAGINE THE FUTURE—AND DESiGN’S ROLE IN IT. Parsons School of Design—recently named the Best School for Art and Design in the United States and ranked second in the world 1 —has offered innovative approaches to education since its founding in 1896. Today we’re the only major American art and design school within a comprehensive university, The New School, which also houses a rigorous liberal arts college, a progressive performing arts school, a legendary graduate school, and other renowned programs. Here you can master established creative practices or advance emerging ones and study across all university disciplines. Surrounded by fresh perspectives and the university’s extensive resources, you research and practice in broader, deeper, and more forward-looking ways. And guided by Parsons’ faculty, you produce work that reflects human needs and responds to the call for innovation and change. Through creative and critical thought and action, you work to improve the world by design.

A Legacy of Groundbreaking Innovation Parsons gives students the tools needed to achieve professional success and prepares them to think beyond current paradigms to develop human-centered solutions to the pressing problems of the day. Our students arrive here with diverse interests, perspectives, and backgrounds; they graduate prepared to creatively and critically address the need for change in an evolving world. Parsons has pioneered art and design education since its beginnings, championing new movements and teaching methods that have shaped generations of artists, designers, scholars, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. Programs at Parsons are grouped into the following five schools:
Parsons Graduate Programs
»»School of Art and Design History and Theory (ADHT) »»School of Art, Media, and Technology (AMT) »»School of Constructed Environments (SCE) »»School of Design Strategies (SDS) »»School of Fashion (SOF) This organizational structure supports Parsons’ educational mission, and its interdisciplinary approach builds community among students and faculty in related disciplines.

A Distinguished Faculty, a Collaborative Approach writers, and scholars reflects the spectrum of art and design disciplines. Instructors collaborate with students to develop technologies and refine research methodologies, creating work that is relevant to contemporary social, cultural, and economic systems. By combining art and design studio curricula with instruction in liberal arts and business, Parsons faculty members prepare students to lead in a range of fields and to excel in their creative practice. newschool.edu/parsons-faculty
A Community for Learning Parsons, like The New School as a whole, is a community made up of people representing a wide range of identities, backgrounds, and academic and professional practices. Parsons students come from all 50 states and more diverse in the country. At Parsons, collaboration between individuals of varied perspectives and backgrounds enriches the overall educational experience and prepares students to communicate and build relationships within an increasingly global workplace.

An Urban Focus Cities are models of sustainable living because of the efficient resource use and forms of community life that are possible in densely populated areas. New York City is an ideal setting in which to study the ecologies of urban environments. The city also offers opportunities to explore emerging areas, such as the design of services and new entrepreneurial and business models. Parsons instructors are part of the city, too; most are working professionals who practice the disciplines they teach.
Diversity and Parsons Parsons is committed to achieving greater diversity, with a community that reflects a broad range of experiences, identities, cultures, and beliefs. Cultivating a learning environment in which all can thrive requires respect and an understanding of academia’s vast spectrum of social, political, and economic contexts. Diversity enables tomorrow’s designers to devise innovative, thoughtful solutions to social inequities and injustices. This effort emphasizes contributions from people who have been historically

underrepresented in higher education.
With a renowned comprehensive curriculum, Parsons offers students many opportunities to collaborate across academic disciplines within a diverse intellectual community. And because Parsons is part of a large research university, students have access to courses in a range of subjects. Visit the university course catalog to see the variety of topics available to you as part of your curriculum:

In addition to its graduate degrees, Parsons offers a variety of associate’s (AAS) degrees intended for mature students hoping to make a career change or add career-enhancing skills to their résumés. If you have a bachelor’s degree in an unrelated field and lack the formal training or

Fields of study include Fashion Design, Graphic Design, Interior Design, and Fashion Marketing and Communication. Graduate Minors The New School is launching a suite of university-wide graduate minors, including Design Studies and Impact Entrepreneurship. These new curricular offerings dissolve walls between disciplines and provide a structured, accessible way for graduate students to complement their primary course of study and research. New graduate students are encouraged to discuss graduate minor options with their advisors once they begin their studies. Continuing studies through open campus offers open enrollment courses with Parsons, enabling non-degree students of all ages to build portfolios, take art and design courses for credit or on a noncredit basis, or pursue certificates. Intensive courses for undergraduate and graduate credit are offered each summer on the New York campus and in Parsons programs abroad. Some courses are offered online.

The New School offers a range of programs. See details at newschool.edu/academics.
Membership and Accreditation The New School is a member of the Association of American Colleges and Universities and is accredited by the New York State Board of Regents and by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Parsons School of Design is also accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design and is a member of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design. The New School is a nonprofit university. In the United States, most registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit professional degree programs in architecture offered by institutions with U.S. regional accreditation, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted an eight-year, threeyear, or two-year term of accreditation,
depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards. Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may require a pre-professional undergraduate degree in architecture for admission. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree. Parsons School of Design offers the following NAAB-accredited degree program: Master of Architecture (pre-professional degree + 90 credits). Next accreditation visit for this program: 2024. For full information on the university’s accreditation, visit newschool.edu/provost/accreditation.

The university reserves the right to change without notice any matter contained in this publication, including but not limited to tuition, fees, policies, degrees, programs, names of programs, course offerings, academic
activities, academic requirements, facilities, faculty, and administrators.
